Answer: ∠ J = 62° , ∠ K = 59° , ∠ L = 59°
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that it is an Isosceles Triangle, where L J ≅ K J
It follows that ∠ K ≅ ∠ L
⇒ 5x + 24 = 4x + 31
⇒ x + 24 = 31
⇒ x = 7
Input the x-value into either equation to solve for ∠ K & ∠ L:
∠ K = 5x + 24
= 5(7) + 24
= 35 + 24
= 59
∠ K ≅ ∠ L ⇒ ∠ L = 59
Next, find the value of ∠ J:
∠ J + ∠ K + ∠ L = 180 Triangle Sum Theorem
∠ J + 59 + 59 = 180
∠ J + 118 = 180
∠ J = 62
